If you aren’t in the know: KnoppMyth is an easier way to get into the Linux PVR/DVR HTPC scene if you are new to Linux. It’s a bootable ISO (cd image) based on the Knoppix Linux distribution (which in turn is based on Debian, right?) and has a nifty walktrough install for the OS, MythTV, and dependencies. Great for a Linux noob to get started with (or rank amateurs like me!).
